I run a 275/70 on 16X8 centerlines with 4 1/2 inches of backspace. The back tires are flush but the fronts stick out about two inches. You'll need closer to 6 inches of backspace to get the fronts to tuck.
If you find 8-lug rims with that much backspace let me know. I haven't found anything other than going the custom route but maybe Im not looking in the right place.

the ones on there now are 16x8's w/ 4.25" B/S (+6.35mm offset?).
the wheels i'm looking at are these:

w/ a 0 offset. so they will stick out about .75" more than what i have.
right?
